=== The First Era/Glory Era: (Circa 7,900 Years Ago) ===

The Glory Era reaped the benefits of the Great Reformation and the spreading of these ideas and the formations of different Cantons across Rodulan. The Rodulans also started to form scattered rural agrarian communities versus the City States of the Ancient Era and the Esharan League. There is however a deep sense of unity among these communities and many form grand Federalist leagues with some major economic centers. The rural communities providing the cities with food and crafted goods and the cities providing the agrarian villages with protection, technology and a better standard of living later became the basic foundation of the Rodulan concept of the Island State.

=== The Second Era/The Black Era: (Circa 6,900 Years Ago) ===

To call the second Era the ‘Black Era’ is a bit of a misnomer considering it’s extremely peaceful history and it is universally accepted among the Rodulan population that the Chrono-Guardians made a very serious error in their reading of the signs.  

=== The Third Era/The Blessed Era: (Circa 5,900 Years Ago) ===

The Third Era is commonly considered the most significant of the early Era’s post the Great Reformation and involved a sudden burst of the teachings of the Reformation and a series of (Relatively) rapid technological advancements that propelled the Rodulans into an era of technological development similar to Earth of the early 1700’s.  

=== The Fourth Era/The Divine Era: (Circa 4,900 Years Ago) ===

Where the rest of Basul Rodul progressed slowly in their technological development, the Krzexxi Islands of the South-West of the planet progressed in a similar fashion to Earth (Albeit more slowly) and fully embraced industrialization and did not cling to remnants of Agrarian life. As such, by the time of the Divine Era the Krzexxi were already past their industrial revolution and had ironclad warships, advanced medicines and a technological level of mid-19th century Europe while the rest of the Rodulans slowly advanced towards the industrial revolution. Their caution and slow development as to not affect their highly agrarian culture would later prove to be their undoing…

=== The Fifth Era/The Storm Era: (3,900 Years Ago) ===

An age marked by rapid industrial development in the East and the complete overturn of standard life in the Fourth Era, the Fifth Era is commonly seen as the first major turning point in Rodulan history as the entire species progressed rapidly towards a technological level of 21st century Earth. This Era also marked a decrease in traditional Agrarian lifestyle and increased urbanization in the East. A less mutually beneficial and advanced form of capitalism also evolved in the East that for the first time in thousands of years, some Rodulans found themselves incredibly poor and unable to provide for themselves with the collapse of their Agrarian society.  

=== The Sixth & Seventh Eras: (2,900 years ago to 998 Years Ago) ===

A great time of upheaval, the Sixth and Seventh Eras were marked by constant and vicious war, both internally and externally. This period was a violent one in Rodulan history and is quite thoroughly documented thanks to a system of “Telepathic Historians” like the Ullians though it is rarely spoken of. The Rodulans maintained a peak technological level similar to that of early 21st century Earth but the technological level only remained constant on some parts of the planet.  

=== The Eighth Era/The Exalted Era ===

The beginning of the Eight Era was characterized by the growing Unity brought about by the last half of the Seventh Era and technological development that lead to a return to peaceful agrarian life. Green Technology was embraced and while the Rodulans took several centuries to turn their heads to the stars, the Rodulans sustained a technological level slightly more advanced than Earth of the 22nd century.  

==Government==

The Rodulan Confederation, as outlined by the Constitution of 1457, is a federal state consisting of legislative jurisdictions known as Cantons divided into three levels, the Federal, Canton, and Local. The three main bodies of the Confederation are the Confederate Courts to handle judicial matters, the Confederate Assembly acting as a legislature, and the Confederate Committee to act as the ruling body.
